Beautiful Paris, France – Travel Photography by Mary Serantoni

• By: Stephanie Kay-Kok

Mary Serantoni is a fine art travel photographer who’s originally from Chicago and now lives in Phoenix. She loves photographing the beauty of European streets. Her pictures of Venice, Italy look like soft paintings, while her shots of Paris, France are sharper, focusing on specific details like the poetry of a colorful door or a picturesque metro sign. Rather than showing grand scenes, Mary captures the beauty of Paris through these lovely details.

To see more of Mary’s photography, visit her website, blog or Etsy shop.

French Botanicals

The French Bouquets rival the Italian wines. It's very difficult not to select one on the way home. As Italians insist on a small glass of wine with the evening meal, the French enhance the artful home with the beauty of florals. The goal is the same, creating a 'Dolce Vita' lifestyle of living the sweet life. Simple pleasures are the best.

NEW! Interiors assistance for Home Decor and Corporate Art

I've always loved the tools architects get to play with in their professions. I've witnessed programs where one can select furniture to fly into rooms and build blueprints for space design. Today, photographers have similiar tools to nurture the imaginations of potential clients!

Great Inspirations

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home." 
-- Twyla Tharp

This is such a profound quote for anyone who has experienced great escapism through an art form. Music, writing, drawing and painting, eventually stepped aside for Photography, a synthesis of genres. Whenever I miss the people, the arts, and the energy of Chicago, I spend time creating 'City Novellas' ©. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Gratitude ~ Etsian Love Letters

Little moments that quiet the creative spirit, and make it all worthwhile...

Hi Mary, 

I should really be thanking you for sharing your art. I drop by your shop when I'm missing Italy. 
My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Florence and Venice, and have been fortunate enough to be able to travel back for a few days since. Neither of us is Italian, but those places feel like home, and are so beautiful. 
Some of our photos disappeared when we made a thief very happy one day, 
so it's nice to be able to appreciate yours. :-)
Thanks again, and best to you! 
S. B.,  Detroit

... xoxo to S.B.
